Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has become the second-oldest goalscorer in Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) history at 36 years and 6 months.
The Gabon captain trails only Egypt’s Hossam Hassan, who scored at 39 years and 5 months.
Aubameyang’s experience and skill continue to make him a key player for Gabon, who he leads with 40 goals in 86 appearances.
Aubameyang’s AFCON journey began in 2012 when Gabon hosted the tournament, reaching the quarterfinals.
He scored three goals that edition, finishing as one of the top scorers.
Despite challenges, Aubameyang remains a symbol of Gabonese football, inspiring his team with his quality and leadership.
Gabon have lost their opening two games, tethering on the brink of a group stage exit.
